You are one of my heroes
This day and every day
but especially today.
Today, may you feel even a measure
of the sun's warmth on your face.
May you taste the beautiful things of life--
tea, laughter, wine, color, chocolate,
dresses with pockets, stories,
and a host of other wonders.
May you catch a glimpse of Meaning
walking through the garden of your life,
softly touching the flowers, yes, but also
the soil, the roots with Her bare feet.
Today,
you are loved.
And yesterday,
you are loved.
And tomorrow,
and tomorrow's tomorrow,
you are infinitely loved.
Mystery brought you forth, and She
sends Meaning to see you through.
And in all, They revel
in the intrinsic goodness that is you.
And in every tomorrow
you are loved.
Only a beautiful person could have written this... that's you dummy! :)
ReplyDeleteI was revisiting this poem and saw your comment again (which I thought i had replied to). But what I would have meant to say, months ago, is this:
DeleteThank you ever so much. A beautiful person inspired it and I have her to thank. Also, Oscar Wilde said, "Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty." ...that's you dummy! :)
